People not fully schooled in the ways of Donald Trump might have expected to watch a somewhat chastened and shrunken president address the United Nations Tuesday morning.
After all, the war in Iran has fallen far short of his promise of a quick and decisive victory.
And because the American economy has been battered by rising prices on food, fuel and pretty much everything else, polls are unanimous in saying the president is hemorrhaging support and predicting his party will get thrashed in the midterm elections.
But the Trump who spoke for almost 40 minutes from the General Assembly podium was anything but chastened and shrunken.
With the world’s eyes on him, he was as bullish as ever on America, the war against Iran and the distinctive differences his presidency has achieved at home and around the world.
